On arrival met by lovely couple they showed us around and explained everything in detail. A car is a must for your stay here as its quite a trip to the towns of Ferragudo or Caveiro and very hilly, there is a local bar, restaurant and supermarket. House is comfortable but a little dated i think but having said that typically Portugese, dark furniture doors and so on. Only issue was, with the pool it was very much in need of cleaning and maintenance, I called the owner and let them know and they said they would call the pool people to come and clean/service it.The following morning a guy withe a teenage girl arrived at 08-25AM and proceeded to do what looked like start cleaning the pool, they threw a hose into the pool and just looked at it, the went into the pool room and came back out in a few seconds took the Magic hose back out of the pool and told the girl to put it back out in the vehicle, he proceeded to the pole net and walked up and down the pool 2 times up and 2 times down with it in de water, He said goodbye and was gone in a space of 3 Minutes. I He did not carry out a water quality test at the poolside. The pool was just as dirty as it was before he arrived. Needless to say we did not use the pool at all during our 7 day stay for fear of being ill which was dissapointing. A little frustrating sitting poolside and tempratures in the 30s and not being able to jump in to cool off. But having said all, that was the only real issue we had.
